Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 1995;67(2):151-71. doi: 10.1007/BF00871210.

Abstract

Six new species of ballistosporous yeast, the genus Sporobolomyces, were isolated from dead leaves and fruit of plants collected in New Zealand; Sp. novazealandicus, Sp. dimmenae, Sp. coprosmicola, Sp. coprosmae, Sp. dracophyllus, and Sp. taupoensis. These species differ from any hitherto known species of Sporobolomyces based on chemotaxonomic characteristics.
